Hungering for Solr Parameter Names?
February 27, 2012
Here’s a must-have for open source explorers: DZone points out a “Quick Search Reference Manual for Solr” by Eric Pugh. Far from a comprehensive manual, this reference work addresses one particular issue. Writer Mitch Pronschinske explains,
“It’s a Solr reference manual based on some distilled references from Apache Solr 3 Enterprise Search Server from Packt Publishing, a book that Eric co-authored with David Smiley. The motivation behind this manual is simply to help with some of the logical inconsistencies in the parameter names (e.g. query type parameter is “qt” but query parser is “deftype”). The reference is meant to help you remember these oddities that are hard to codify in your brain.”
The manual refers back to Apache Solr 3 Enterprise Search Server with page numbers, so the two documents make a handy set. Pronschinske supplies a link to the manual PDF in his article. The manual will be useful to anyone working with a Lucene Solr search system in our opinion.
